About this deal

Matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry seasoned oak casks from Jerez, Spain. The Macallan Sherry Oak whiskies are defined by their rich flavours of vanilla, dried fruits, and ginger spice with a long finish. The Service has been prepared by us solely for information purposes to Members and the Service is based on information we consider reliable and we obtain the contents of the Service from a number of different third party sources (including Contributions), but we do not endorse, support, represent, warrant or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of the Services and any information therein. To create the whisky, Bremner selected a combination of American and European oak casks to achieve the distinctive notes offered by the single malts. Each expression has been paired with two different variations of Ethiopian coffee, which accentuate the unique tasting notes within the whisky when enjoyed side by side, creating an exciting new sensorial experience of The Macallan," said Steven Bremner, Whisky Maker, The Macallan. Comments: A bit like what the annual Ardbeg Day releases do for Ardbeg fans, the Harmony Collection gives fans of Macallan the chance to try the spirit in a slightly different light or from a different perspective to the standard core-range expressions. To Whisky & Wisdom’s palate, the highlight of the Intense Arabica is the delicious interplay between bitter and sweet, and if you like both coffee and whisky, this will be right up your alley!

Designed by internationally acclaimed architects to promote sustainability, the building takes inspiration from the surrounding ancient Scottish hills. It stands nearby Easter Elchies House, the Highland Manor built in 1700 which is The Macallan's spiritual home and remains the heartbeat of The Macallan's beautiful 485-acre Estate. Bremner commented: “Exploring the world of coffee with our masters in the industry, who shared their knowledge, creativity and love for their art, was both an education and an inspiration.

Macallan The Harmony Collection Inspired by Intense Arabica

If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The Macallan Whisky Maker Steven Bremner has created the intensely flavored whiskies to pair perfectly with coffee. He immersed himself in the art of coffee by hosting a masterclass with world renowned coffee experts at The Macallan Estate. He explored the incredible journey from field to cup, uncovering the unique process and distinct flavor profiles at each stage. Nose: The nose is initially restrained and on the quiet side, needing a bit of teasing. With time and agitation, the unmistakable hints of milk coffee notes arose from the glass, followed by Macallan’s signature spice and fruit. Currants and blueberries featured strongly. Digging under the fruit, the influence of the oak started to emerge more, bringing out dark chocolate and cappuccino notes. Finish: Medium in length, the finish is grippy and delivers a second wave of favour that really brings home the bacon…er…coffee. The lasting footprint is a perfectly balanced sensation of bitter-sweet, like dark chocolate, or a well-prepared coffee that has inherent sweetness to contrast the bean.The Harmony Collection Intense Arabica is inspired by the Ethiopian Arabica bean. As part of the Sydney media launch for this release, attendees gathered at the Genovese Coffee House in Alexandria, where guests were treated to a wee presentation about the history and traditions of coffee and, in particular, the features of the Arabica bean and Ethiopia’s coffee heritage. Simon James of Genovese Coffee prepared up a specially-brewed pot of Arabica coffee (French Press, 1 part coffee to 14.5 parts water, for the coffee enthusiasts out there), and it didn’t take much imagination to join the dots between the delicious aromas wafting out of the steaming cup and the juicy dram of Intense Arabica sitting alongside. Simon James preparing a brew of Arabica coffee. This is the second release in the limited annual series with inspiration from Macallans inherent curiosity, and innovative and creative mindset. The edition continues to draw from their deep rooted connection to the natural world. The new limited annual release series features two new single malt whiskies: The Macallan Harmony Collection Inspired by Intense Arabica for domestic markets, and Smooth Arabica for global travel retail. To clear up any confusion or misinterpretation, none of these whiskies utilise infusions or flavourings to achieve their connection with chocolate or coffee. Rather, they are inspired by those flavours, and The Harmony Collection relies simply on Macallan’s traditional use of mixing and matching sherry-seasoned casks (both American oak and European oak) from a range of different ages to achieve a final flavour profile that shares attributes with the product providing the inspiration (i.e. chocolate or coffee). From its founding, through the subsequent owners of the distillery in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and into the present century, the distillery has been recognised for its outstanding quality above all else. Today this remains the foundation for the worldwide fame of making their whiskies highly sought after and collectible.

Scottish coffee roaster, Lisa Lawson, said: "Today, people have a greater understanding of coffee, they know the vocabulary, they know what they like, and with whisky it's the same. Whisky goes well with coffee - it comes at the end of a meal and it's natural for whisky and coffee flavors to sit together." No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Steven Bremner, Whisky Maker, The Macallan, said: "Exploring the world of coffee with our masters in the industry, who shared their knowledge, creativity, and love for their art, was both an education and an inspiration. There are many parallels between the approach to creating incomparable whisky and coffee. Each requires unique skills and craftsmanship to achieve depth and complexity of taste and both worlds aim to deliver an extraordinary consumption experience." Each expression has been paired with two different variations of Ethiopian coffee, which accentuate the unique tasting notes within the whisky when enjoyed side by side, creating a new sensorial experience of The Macallan,” Bremner concluded.
